Chapter 1108 - Business Opportunity
Rean and Roan couldn't enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm when in danger. However, it didn't mean they couldn't access the items there. That being said, Rean immediately brought several... planks... out of there, followed by a few ropes.
Surprisingly, Roan liked the idea. "Not bad."
Soon after, they used their skills to make a few ropes and cut them down to the right size while still running. They passed the ropes through the hole before jumping. They tied up the planks to their feet during the jump and used their Divine Soul Power to increase its resistance like cultivators would usually do with weapons. The twins then landed on the snow once again. However, unlike the others, they didn't sink into it.
Of course, Rean also made two more planks with ropes attached to them to Milina, who had already received a Divine Sense Message, telling her what to do. The only doubt was whether her weight would make the plank useless or not.? 'If you're too heavy for the planks, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you any further.'
Milina was very happy after seeing the twins not sinking into the snow. 'It's fine. I won't sink as I'm probably lighter than you.'
'What?!' Rean was taken aback. Milina truly looked enormous. How could she be lighter than him?
Milina then jumped out of the snow as well and did the same thing as Rean did. When she landed on the snow with the planks and Divine Energy protecting them...she didn't sink at all! Not only that, Rean and Roan sank quite a bit more than her with every step, showing that Milina was indeed lighter than them. 'How's that possible...'
Milina smiled back at them as she then used her movement skill to increase her speed even more. With the planks preventing her from sinking, she obviously didn't need to fight the snow while running. The twins were even more so as they were faster than Milina to start with.
The other cultivators behind them saw how the twins' group began to pull away from the army and the method they used to achieve that. However, there was a problem with it...
'Who the hell would travel with planks and ropes inside their spatial rings?!' Sure enough, cultivators wouldn't carry such things with them.
Eventually, one of them threw their pride away in the face of the death wave behind him. Well, that was because another cultivator not far away had just been caught by the undead army. "Brother, do you have more planks and ropes, please? Help me and I'll owe you one!"
The others also gave up on their strong front and began to ask the same thing.
Rean looked behind and sighed as he reduced his speed, keeping a safe distance from the rest. "I'll throw all the planks and ropes I have. However, there aren't many as I didn't expect I would need them for such a thing."
Roan understood what Rean wanted to do and didn't try to stop him as he reduced his speed as well.
Sure enough, there was a reason behind his actions. "So, what can you give me in exchange for the planks and ropes? How about a few Rank Two Divine Stones? I've never seen one, but a few of you should be from rich countries. Sure, you should have one or two, or maybe more to use during breakthroughs."
"You're charging Rank Two Divine Stones for some pieces of planks and ropes?!" Obviously, the people got enraged. Rank Two Divine Stones! Even for richer and more powerful countries, those Divine Stones were quite rare, especially for disciples.
However, the guy who was close to being taken by the undead army didn't even think twice before using all his strength to throw two Rank Two Divine Stones at Rean. "Quick, give me the planks and ropes!" What use would those stones have to him if he died? Even Rank One-Thousand Divine Stones wouldn't be worth more than his life. Not that they existed, but you get the idea.
Rean flashed a wide grin before using his Light Element on the plank and ropes and throwing it to the guy. "For my first buyer, you get an extra gift."
The guy obviously noticed how Rean did something to the planks and ropes. After all, they were glistening with Light Element. As far as he knew, Rean might be trying to send him to his death by using some attacking skill on the items. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to believe that Rean truly left a gift for him.
*Grab!*
The moment he got the two planks and the ropes, he felt the Light Energy entering his body. He was ready to block it as well. Yet, he could feel his body screaming in happiness with a sudden surge of physical strength. Only then did he notice that Rean really left a gift for him, a very good one at that. He stopped blocking the Light Element and used the extra power to jump, soon attaching the planks and ropes to his feet and protecting the planks with Divine Energy.
Immediately, his speed surged on the snow as he wasn't sinking into it anymore.
Rean smiled while he looked back. Even though he gave the planks, it would take some time for that guy to catch up to his group. With that, if he wanted to get his Rank Two Divine Stones back, he would need to get close first.
"Now then, in thirty seconds, my group and I will dash away once more. Is there anyone else wishing to buy more planks and ropes? It's very cheap, just three Rank Two Divine Stones!" Rean offered.
"You increased the price!"
Rean nodded in response. "Of course. The first sale was to show how good my items were. Now that you saw all their unbelievable power and the craftsmanship behind it, it obviously had to go back to its original price. They're truly worth every single stone."
A moment later, many Rank Two Divine Stones began to fly in Rean's direction. "Thank you for your patronage."
Back in the guests' hall of the Sacred Land, many elders of the powers from those chased disciples felt their mouths twitch. "From which country is that despicable white-haired boy?!"
Fabio looked away, pretending he didn't hear anything. "Today is such a nice day...."
